GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome back to another "Made in Minutes!"

First of all, before I share my card, I just want to say a HUGE "CONGRATS" to Anthony & his team! These boys played their hearts out this weekend & went 4-0! They are the Gold Division Champs! ;)

For those of you who are parents of children who play sports, I am almost POSITIVE you feel like me....... even though we are not playing, doesn't it sometimes feel like you are out there on the field with them??? lol...... I have to admire these boys because is was REALLY hot this entire weekend & they STILL played hard & got 4 "W's" this weekend! ;) DEFINITELY a PROUD Mom here! :)

For my card below, I used a couple of older sets, "Happy Thoughts" & "Bee Happy"! I used these sets along with my newest die set "Scalloped Stitched Rectangular Dies". I just LOVE how my card came out & the BEST part is that it took me 20 minutes to make from beginning to end! It might have been quicker, but it took me a little bit to color in my bee! :) I used my FAVORITE markers "Zig Clean Color Brush Markers!" I simply LOVE these markers because they are reasonably priced & you can have all 80 colors for a decent price. I was SUPER HAPPY when these markers came out because I just KNEW that I would not be able to afford every copic maker! lol.... So these markers were the right choice for ME! ;) They blend beautifully & I LOVE all of the colors, very BRIGHT & CHEERY!

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome back to another "Anything Goes!"

Today is the day that we basically do what ever we want using My Creative Time products! :)

First of all, I just wanted to let you all know that I had a video planned everyday this week. Unfortunately I thought it was a GREAT idea to start jogging/running! A good friend of mine told me about this app "couch to 5K" & it sounded SO EASY & I could not wait to start! I seriously was ONLY maybe a week & 1/2 into it & my knees started telling me to STOP! lol... ;) Well, I was not listening to my body & I did slightly continue until I was in serious pain. I thought maybe my body had to get used to it, so I continued & now I am feeling it. I could barely stand without feeling this sharp pain going through both of my knees :( I am going to see my chiropractor today! I always see my chiropractor FIRST before my doctor because I know my doctor will most likely send me home with motrin, which I have already! At least my chiropractor tells me RIGHT AWAY what the problem is & tells me what to do so it can get better quicker! So please WISH ME LUCK my friends that I can get myself better & I will NOT be doing any kind of running! lol...... I will be safe & stick to my walking & biking! ;)

I hope my team inspired all of you here today! Thank you ALL for stopping by, have a FABULOUS day & I will see you all back here soon! xoxo :)

I loved seeing all the great uses and projects for the new release! I can't wait to make fun flip flop bookmarks for summer reading :)

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome back to another "Inspire Me Wednesday!"

Today is the day that my team & I create something that inspires us! So, for my project, I was TOTALLY inspired by my latest die that we just released "Stitched Square Box Die". I wanted to make a "girly" favor box using my FAVORITE stuff which are polka dots, boa, twine & butterflies! ;)

I just LOVE how this turned out! The boa just give it a subtle pop & makes it look very girly! ;) I WISH my picture would've been a little better because I promise this is ADORABLE in real life! ;)

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome back to another "To Die for Tuesday!"

Today is the day that my team & I show you creative ways to use my dies. So I thought I would create this CUTE flip card & show you how EASY it is to do step by step! You can see in my video EXACTLY how to re-create this yourself! I could not wait to make this card using our newest

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome back to another "Manly Monday!"

Today is the day that my team & I create masculine cards, which I ALWAYS found hard to do!

So I thought this would help some of you out there who struggle with "manly cards!" :)

For my card today, I used my "Tweet Me" stamps along with the "Fun Tweet Me Dies" to create my card. I TRIED my best to make it as MANLY as possible! lol.... I thought it would be fine since I used a good amount of blue colors in it. To make my clouds, I just die cut out my "Cartoon Cloud Dies" & used that as my template for my background! The ink I used for the clouds as Tim Holtz STORMY SKY. Then I used my FAVORITE Zig Clean Brush markers to color in my cutie patootie birdie! ;) I also used my new "Scalloped Stitched Rectangular Dies" for the layer & base of my card. I wanted to use the scalloped rectangles that come with this set, but I figured I was keep it SIMPLE so it can stay manly looking! ;)

Thank you ALL for stopping by, have a FABULOUS day & I will see you all back here SOON! ;) xoxo

Cute Bow Dies

I used one of the ADORABLE little bows to decorate my flip flop on my gift package! :)

I thought it would be FUN to make a little gift package using our new Stitched Square Box Die with the flip flop die! I cut off the top of my box and filled it with shredded paper & added a small bottle of sunscreen! How PERFECT is this to give to see someone off who is leaving for vacation! We ALL need sunscreen while on vacation.....right? ;) Just in case you are wondering, this is the sunscreen I put in there HERE. Here is what my package looks like side ways! I just LOVE this!

This is how it looks on the front. I used a sentiment from my revised set "Sit Back & Relax" and stamped that onto the smaller scallop rectangular die from our 1st sneaky peek this week!
